Windows issue

[Dave Compton]

The cygwin version of bzr has problems (attributed to a cygwin bug).  
Here's  a launchpad bug report regarding this bug: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/181855 .  The native (non-cygwin) 
version of bzr works just fine.  Here's a trivial script to ease 
starting the non-cygwin bzr from the cygwin cmd line:
------------------start----------------------
#! /bin/bash
"C:/Program Files/Bazaar/bzr.exe" "$@"
---------------------end---------------------
